With Lebanon’s current government in turmoil after weekend violence, the US is taking the opportunity to once again insinuate itself directly in the political situation, with the State Department is demanding that President Suleiman form a new government with the Sunni-dominated opposition parties at the lead.
“The export of instability from Syria threatens the security of Lebanon now more than ever, and it’s really up to the Lebanese people to choose a government that is going to counter this threat,” insisted spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.
The US has styled itself as something of a king-maker in Lebanese politics in this government session, with Vice President Joe Biden showing up days before the election and threatening to withdraw all aid from Lebanon if they voted for the Hezbollah-dominated faction.
And while Biden got his way temporarily, the Sunni-dominated faction eventually collapsed and was replaced by Hezbollah anyhow. Now US officials are pushing for that government’s ouster and the return of the already-failed faction, which is more than likely going to force early elections.
U.S. demands…
Never has a phrase been so over-used. It's time that the rest of the world told the U.S. to stick its demands up its nostrils!
If à Sunne government is established in lebanon, as Hillary Clinton wishes, you Will se the entré Lebanon in flame and that's what Hillary Clinton is after, à new turmoil, à new regional war, we Said that from The bigening, if US and EU with their Neo Liberal Fascism governments dont get what they want Then that's what people in Middle East well get, a new war.
US state department demand I go to the bathroom. Why the hell is it any of their business?
The Empire has spoken!
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain…The Great Empire HAS SPOKEN!!!
Do a little research on Victoria Nuland to see what/who she represents…. Go to her Wikipedia page…. IT'S ALMOST EMPTY…….!!!!!!!! No mention of HER ROLE getting NATO into the Afghanistan WAR… When she was the 18th United States Permanent Representative to NATO…… SHE IS A STAR….. in the NEOCON constillation… She speaks Russian, French, and some Chinese. She's married to
Robert Kagan… He's one of the "New Pearle Harbor" crew (AKA known as "Creative Destruction"??)…..
"Robert Kagan (born September 26, 1958 in Athens, Greece) is an American historian, author and foreign policy commentator at the Brookings Institution. He is a co-founder of the now-defunct neoconservative political organization Project for the New American Century.[1][2] More recently, his book The World America Made has been publicly endorsed by US President Barack Obama, and its theme was referenced in his 2012 State of the Union Address." (Wiki)
"The book makes the case that the nation’s decline is a myth, a reaction to the financial crisis of 2008 rather than to any genuine geopolitical shifts." —The New York Times …………………………Have the Kagans ever been to Detroit…..????
"Kagan paints with a broad brush, sprinkling a memorable metaphor here, a striking simile there . . . He provides a compelling demonstration that whether it's protecting the sea lanes vital for free trade or nudging societies toward democracy, the world stands a better chance with America in prime position than with China or Russia in the lead." —
Yaa, in Kagans view America's divine role on the planet is to make the world safe for Halburton Petrocide and Is-reali Aparthicide…
These people, in my opinion, have decided ……that as nasty as the Third Reich was… it's plan was the right one and it is now their plan too for a New American Century.. (Forth Reich.).. This is who Hillary/Obama appoint to exercise her ideas…. They want to turn Lebanon into a vassal wasteland…
When this aging crank first saw quotes from Miss Vicky featured in Antiwar articles, I thought she was probably Tiny Tim's Miss Vicky. Unfortunately this one seems to be smart enough to be quite as dangerous as I suspected.
Ms. Vicky DEMANDS! Take heed Lebanon, "humanitarian intervention" is right around your corner.
Putting the US in the middle of a Lebonese gov't selection would be the fox in the hen house story all over again. Dosen't Hillary know that the US, as a unbiased middleman in the ME, was lost about 10 US-UN vetos ago? How about the US rejection of the UN Goldstone report for starters.
She is an Israeli spy, ie a sayanim
Hezbolah kicked Israel's ass in 2006, and thus scares the crap out of the empire.
